STATIC AND KINETIC COF TESTER|BOTH ASTM D1894 AND ISO 8295 CONFORMED|COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION TESTER

Background: Understanding the coefficient of friction is paramount in evaluating the interplay between surfaces. This parameter delineates the force required to initiate or sustain movement between two materials. In the realm of packaging, it dictates the 'slipperiness' of materials, crucial for seamless processing across various machinery.

Application: The COF-01 Coefficient of Friction Tester is a versatile instrument tailored to measure static and kinetic coefficients of friction across a spectrum of materials. These encompass plastic films, rubber, paper, fabrics, and more. This tester, adaptable to diverse materials and standards, assures precise evaluations vital for packaging, manufacturing, and quality control processes.

Standards: Conforming to ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, TAPPI T816, and GB 10006, this tester upholds industry benchmarks, ensuring reliable and standardized assessments.

Formula: The coefficient of friction (COF) is calculated by dividing the force required to move one surface across another by the perpendicular force. Comprising static (μs) and kinetic (μd) components, it underpins crucial evaluations in packaging dynamics and material interactions.
